There really isna€?t a single subtle thing to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, which revels in its own stupidity to almost absurd levels. Taking the mick out of everything we remember from all that cheesy 80a€?s culture, ita€?s bad to the level that ita€?s actually highly enjoyable, in the way that you...

Why is it that seemingly deserted tropical paradise islands are full of danger, terror and usually pirates? It's why I've never accepted any of Richard Branson's invites to attend a party at Necker Island as I fully expect it to be full of pirates, mad tribesmen and women, with one particular...

A very strong story and character dialogue; Graphically beautiful.

Multiplayer doesn't have the same story strength

This latest open world first person shooter in the Far Cry franchise is the most ambitious yet, with the Rook Islands offering a beautiful, but dangerous playground to explore. Far Cry 2 was a decent but flawed shooter, that didn't quite reach greatness.

Blood Dragon thrives on '80s nostalgia. It's bursting with pop-culture references, the neon-drenched visuals haven't been seen in a major production for more than 20 years and the story is brimming with hilarity.

+ Crazy supercharged fun; + Packed with '80s references; + Awesome soundtrack & retro cutsenes; + Michael Biehn

- Environments do get bland after a while; - Some jokes a little too crude; - The tutorial sucks trying to be funny

I must confess to being a Ubisoft Montreal fanboy, smacking my lips in anticipation of Far Cry 3's sandbox world for close to a year. I had similar feelings prior to the release of Far Cry 2, going fanboy-batshit over videos of dynamic fire, procedural sky and other words that translate to...

Fantastic, Detailed open world that begs exploration; Supremely satisfying gunplay; Best looking game on PC by a distance; Memorable characters; Side quests never get old

Story isn't particularly strong; Voice acting for generic NPCs is woeful; Underwhelming multiplayer

Creating downloadable content that is both fun and exciting, as well as quality work is tricky business, and nobody realizes that more than Ubisoft it seems. Ubisoft has already made The Tyranny of George Washington a DLC hit despite its mixed reviews, and the standalone Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon DLC...

This generation has seen no lack of open-world games ever since The Elder Scrolls series showed devs the ropes with Oblivion. The biggest problem that open world games face is that the world often feels empty with only a few missions or a couple of side quests to do at any time.

Far Cry 3 explores the world of Rook Island, a tropical locale that seems like a great vacation spot until you get there and have to fight for your life. It explores how a man can go from normal everyday living to a monster who relishes killing people, but in the back of his mind he's doing it for a...

The Far Cry series has always been an interesting one in the game industry, known as much as a technical showcase for over-the-top beauty as anything else. The Far Cry games have also been known for some deep gameplay flaws that keep it from being thought of in the same light as say, Assassin's...

Like the natural world it sets out to emulate so well, Far Cry 3 is beautiful and deadly. Way back in the days of first-person shooters like Doom , one worried only about strafing through drab labyrinthine corridors; in this pinnacle of the open-world FPS genre, it's the beauty of the environment...
